What Is PumpSwap?
PumpSwap is Pump.fun’s newly launched decentralized exchange (DEX) on Solana.
It eliminates the previous 6 SOL migration fee and allows tokens to migrate instantly after completing their bonding curve.
PumpSwap charges a 0.25% trading fee:
-
0.20% to liquidity providers
-
0.05% to the protocol
The launch positions Pump.fun in direct competition with Raydium amid declining memecoin trading volumes.
PumpSwap Launches as Pump.fun’s Native Solana DEX
Pump.fun has officially launched PumpSwap, its proprietary decentralized exchange on Solana.
Previously, tokens graduating from Pump.fun were required to migrate to Raydium, incurring a 6 SOL migration fee. PumpSwap eliminates this cost and streamlines the process.
The move comes after a reported 60% monthly revenue decline and growing competition in the Solana memecoin sector.
Why PumpSwap Matters
Pump.fun has:
-
Created over 8.7 million tokens
-
Generated 3.2 million SOL in cumulative revenue
-
Powered roughly 70% of Solana token launches
By launching its own DEX, Pump.fun:
-
Captures liquidity internally
-
Removes external dependency on Raydium
-
Reduces user friction
-
Expands revenue capture
This signals a strategic vertical integration shift.
